Start in windowed mode under linux?

[efudd]

Folk, does anyone know how to START the game the first time in windowed mode? I have 4 monitors on my computer and it starts up across all 4 monitors and none of the buttons line up with the mouse movement.. so I can't ever click the 'windowed' option in the in-game setup.... and the game is unplayable because nothing lines up when stretched across all 4 monitors.

any pointers to command line options and/or config files (with default linux/steam location please) would be useful.

Hi there. Are you not able to access the config file or do you not know where it is? Inside the config.txt file you can edit a value that says FULLSCREEN = true and set it to false. Please let us know if that works.

Ah ha. That was enough finformation to find the config file. I assumed there was one but it was in a nonobvious spot. Couple of suggestions so other folk can avoid this:

I'm running 4 monitors on a GTX680; my screen width is 7040 and height is 1200 across all 4 screens. By default, the game started in fullscreen mode. I was able to click on the 'settings' icon, but past that, mouse presses did not line up with any of the on-screen button placements.

In modifying the configuration file by hand to set FULLSCREEN = false, the game started up in a resizable window. However, it was basically a zoomed window as the game was still running in 7040x1200 with a visual "display" of ~1280x1024.

... so I couldn't click on any settings again.

I should have made the change initally, but manually modifying FULLSCREEN, SCREEN_HEIGHT and SCREEN_WIDTH allows the game to work properly.... I'm not sure exactly where the breaking point with screen width is for the UI widgets.. but it's somewhere.

A small config tool in the steam setup (not sure if they allow for that) would be useful.

Thank you for the help...Ultimately I found config.txt in ~/userdata/<7digitnumber>/<6digitnumber>/local/config.txt".
